It's ridicules how much time hunters need to take out the ants.
Compared to the Phantom Troupe's swift justice, they're like snails.
The situation keeps getting worse and worse all the time.
Watching Killua fight was just awesome this time!
I must admit I like him more than Gon..
The octopus was just LOL ^^"

Well, you gotta remember the Troupe went through one-on-one fights in closed spaces, and only one of their enemies was a squad leader...and they still had to go all out.
Trying to ambush them in open road when they have the numbers, sure is much harder. The Ants are deliberately avoiding direct fights as much as they can.

Note that almost every single named ant is a squad leader or higher, meaning they're all on the same level as the self-proclaimed Queen who was fighting evenly with Feitan for quite a long time. The other ants that the Troupe killed were just fodder like the ones Killua is tearing through.

Manga: Chapters 235, 236, first third of 238 + second half of chapter 241

Spoiler for Name change:

So if you've noticed, Hagya changed his name to Leol. Why? I'm not sure. I don't remember if it was mentioned either. If not, hopefully a filler may explain the change in the future...

Scenes later, we see Cheetu teases Leol about his name change. This was added to the anime.

Spoiler for Where is everybody:

Spoiler for Killua vs an army:

So now we get to one of my favorite parts of all Chimera Ants arc, and probably one of the most special chapters throughout the manga. Why? Because it's Killua fighting an ant army all by himself! And since we're in a different time slot, how grave will it be? This part also had some censorship on some violent parts, but not all of it...! Of course, this is also one of the parts where the scanlators tried to edit out the censorship, and we will compare it to the first drafts as well.

First we have twisted neck

The monkeys were naked in the first draft!

Impaled head

Flying jaw did not fly in the anime (this wasn't censored in the first draft and later version)

Another impaled head

Another twisted neck

Bombardier Beetle info was left out

------------

Spoiler for part 2:

Spoiler for Killua takes another route:

Flea attack

---

Spoiler for Back to Gon:

This part is way after. This is from the second half of chapter 241
So Meleoron's previous name was "Jail"... something...

---

Spoiler for Back to Killua:

More death stares
And Killua uses Finger Gun before One Piece... (Or did One Piece use it before...?!)

Oh No! He fell to a tentacle rape porno!!

And here's our new favorite character: Ikalgo!

---------That's our 100th episode and it was fantastic! Well, to me and every Killua fan out there.

Add to that that here the Hunters at work are short in numbers, fighting over an entire country, and planning on the long term to try and take out the King (so they're not going all out immediately like the Spiders did). A big part of the problem is that the Hunter association could probably wipe out the menace quickly, if they were to send the big guns (namely

Spoiler for Manga spoiler:

the Zodiac guys, to say one

), but they don't because they don't realize the entity of the threat and they are still playing political games against Netero's chairmanship. Of course, were the King to defeat Netero's task force and succeed in his plan of awakening an army of Nen users, then the conflict would scale up and turn into a world war between humans and ants - humans may still win, but the number of casualties would be uncountably higher.

Just to be clear, I also find this boring, but I respect their commitment if you can call it that way. It's starting getting funnier now that it's already 100+ episodes. Yeah, I know they still haven't top Salior Moon OP song but still.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we had a few filler arcs? *gets shot* :X

If after reaching the end they want to make some - maybe asking Togashi sensei who at that point will have completely given up on drawing the manga and might as well share his ideas with the writers - I won't mind, since there's not going to be anything to ruin. But judging from the quality of the Phantom Rouge movie, I'd say I'd probably not bother.
Something I can't understand is how there is not a single decent writer in anime working on anime-original episodes of long running series. One would expect it to be the kind of task you'd give to rookies and youngsters, so you should get the occasional genius waiting to happen who delivers a great job. Instead they're consistently shit.
